          The newspaper printing is a rather unusual activity since each day the newspaper material is prepared anew. Newspa­per includes editorial board work the following functions: get­ting the right news, writing it in the form of an article, selec­tion of the best items for the print, and displaying the selected copy in the paper.

        All these tasks are performed by journalists, editors and rewrite men, photographers and make-up editors responsible for the issue of the paper.

         Thus, the newspaper reporting starts with collecting in­formation for the paper. However, journalism does not stop here. Newspapers and magazines publish a great deal of sto­ries, not only news items or political stories, for example, sto­ries of humourous or some other type. Such essay-type articles may be called human interest stories. Besides, newpapers carry many items on sports, personalities of today as well as stories on science, art and technology. Rather popular are also the reports about the flights of astronauts and space research matters in general.

        Human interest stories are often written in the form of an interview, or as some journalists say, a «profile» is given. It is no secret that different newspaper publications differently influence the reader, this depending on the level of the skill of the journalist himself or the type of the topic being covered.

         One can often hear some reporters who have just started their career in journalism asking this question: how to con­duct an interview? There are hardly any rules to that effect because each interviewee is different. In most instances, the journalist’s problem is how to get the interviewee to start tal­king. The opening questions, therefore, are of special impor­tance. The reporter should not ask questions that call for only yes-or-no response. Another problem is how to keep on talking. Some interviewers take copious notes, others trust their me­mory and take notes only about the exact names, places, fi­gures, and the like.

        The above-mentioned profile-type stories may be characterized as «personality sketches» reading which one learns much about interesting aspects of somebody’s life. Other eve­ryday topics covered by newspapers are stories on crime, me­dicine and law. Those organs of press which focus on enter­tainment, crime and just gossip are justly called «commercial». These papers are published primarily for profit. Usually they have a considerable readership.
